Thomas and Bronson are cruising on Lollipop on the Tennessee River this morning. Still, about 2 days travel from Lake Guntersville in Alabama. Yesterday they went through the lock at the Jamie Whitten Lock and Dam on the Tenn-Tom canal. This lock raises and lowers vessels 80 feet. Each square or block is 5 feet tall. Much of yesterday, Lollipop was the only boat on the canal, even for a holiday weekend. This part of Mississippi seems very isolated.
